Nice one, I've just done the same - also bought at Tyre Leader and delivered from Germany within three days!

Lepsons have refurbed my wheels at the same time and fitted new TPMS all round - going to pick it up from Kelly at KDS this afternoon as he's done a few bits as well. I'll try and get a few pics up later, but for now here's my 2 y/o trying out the tyres

Tile Diver must like cycling. I met him half way up the Croix de Fer last summer. He's the only guy I've met who has the RS as a support car :)

Ha ha!!! I remember that day, I blew my brains out not long after talking to you!!! Col du Glandon it was though, the Croix de Fer shares the lower bits, and just differs near the top I think?

:nodder:

Another roadie here too :) I used to do lots of short/middle distance time trials for many years and also a few winter du-athlons. Had a Trek OCLV carbon frame/forks, dura ace throughout etc, Zipp 440's etc etc
Nowadays riding a more 'relaxed' machine; a BMC Granfondo GFO1 full carbon with electronic Dura ace, 6.5kgs!! The 'winter hack' is a BMC Granfondo GFO2 Alu with full Ultegra STI, love them both. Still enjoy it but I don't compete now.
Current;
Porsche 997.1 GT3RS. Pure Orange, ceramics, etc, Sharkwerks exhaust
BMW 2002 restomod; Turbo body kit, S14 M3 Evo engine and lots more
Audi Q3 Black edition Quattro

Previously enjoyed;
Ibis White B7 RS4 Avant : TTS Supercharged 615ps/614 nm
Subaru Impreza 22B
Noble M400
TVR 400SE

I've still got my Wilier and a winter bike, but my days of being a roady riding 300miles/wk stopped about 4 years ago, and I just ride mountain bikes now, although I'm still involved in the triathlon industry
I sold my last triathlon bike a couple of years ago, and I still look at pictures of it longingly. I certainly don't miss Sunday morning 120mile winter base rides in January and leg shaving though ;)

Is there some sort of catch with tyre leader? Why are they so cheap?

To be fair there's not much between Tyreleader and Oponeo in terms of price so I just went with the cheapest which was tyre leader. :beerchug:

That's an insane price!

Tyres have definitely come down - dad put a pair on his A3 only today in fact, and he commented they were £30 cheaper than the last pair.
